Ale the Clergy BigOted?
From WebSter'S Weekly.1

1t is a hard fact, but the clergy are nat
urally more bigoted and dogmatical than
men of any other class or profession. This
is due partly to their natural prejudices,
but principally to the clemency to criti-
cism upon them. This makes them pre-
sumptuous, and fills them with the idea
that they are environed in perfect and
unassailable panoply.
Badness may be prevented, and thick

Grabbed Husbands.

One often reads or hears it said,
writes Clara de We're in the Cincinnati
COmBlert idt Gazette, that the peace
and happiness of the household depend
upon the wife or mother. The asser-
ton is not strictly true. AS the moth
er is or should be with her children
more, her influence is greater than any
ones else; but does not the fathers
daily example sometimes counterfeit
that influence? Children, says the
Golden Rule. are close observers, and
are apt imitators of their elders.
Should the father be addicted to the
habit of fault-finding, especially in re-
gard to the food set before him at
meal-time, and the weary, discouraged
wife-in the vain attempt to defend her
reputation as cook-arouses his ire by
making excuses, then the children of
the family will be listeners to an angry
TRADE, or, what is worse, quarrel, If
the mother has not complete control of
her temper; and, of course, they will
be apt to follow the example set before
them, and discord will reign in the
family. This is not an attractive pic
ture of home life, yet in some
families such scene is enacted almost
every day. Men often mar the happi-
ness of wives and children by fault
finding. and surely they add nothing
to their own peace OF mind by indulg-
ing in it. 1t is just as much the hus-
bands duty to sit down to the table
with q cheerful, sunshiny face, and
make the best of the food set before
him, as it is the wife's duty to keep the
house in order and prepare the meals
regularly.
Woman's efforts to please in the
matter Of cooking are rarely appreci-
ated, or, if so, she hears no word of
commentator. Men do not seem to
realize how much won ms heart
hungers for words of praise from her
husbands lips. If she prepares some
dainty dish to tempt his appetite he is
too careless to note how eagerly she
waits to know if he likes it. Apprecia-
ton is one of the best incentives the
world affords. After the labors inci-
dent to the preparation of meal, how
it seems to rest a wife to hear her hus
band say, "How nice and light your
biscuits are" or, wife, this meat is
cooked 10 suit MY tdSJe, VI OtltI
words of commentator. A few words
of approval repay her for her trouble.
Just try this for once, careless hus-
band, and see if your wife's face doesn't
light up and all traces of WEAKNESS
disappear on the instant. o, think of
the many things you can do to brighten
her life. A little appreciation by one
she loves goes good way toward
making a woman happy. Many a weary
wife drags out her life unappreciated,
scarcely finding word of sympathy
from her husband.
He has careful words for tho stranger.
And smiles for the sometimes guest
But oft for his own the bitter tone,
Though he loves his own the best.
That such a mans home is unhappy
is mainly his own fault.

Methods OF the Hindoo When Urging ON
His Lazy Reasts-Pienty of Abuse.
The handy, cart drawn by two
small white bullockD. is the common
means of conveyance in India. 1t is
simply broad platform on very high
wheels covered with mats to keep off
the rain and sun from the traveller.
The driver sits astride the cart
tongue, within easy reach of his bull
locks headquarters. The speed and
endurance of the little raft animals,
says Youths Companion, enables
them to make three miles and quar-
ter an hour for several hours at
stretch. The driver keeps them going
by a complicated system of ejacula-
tions, slappings, tail-twistings, toe
poklngs, goadings, and flashing.
An American. about to hire Lon

"Why, bless your art, sir, keeps
that raw for hextra times. If gents

The Hindoo bandy-driver has his
last resort. When the handy is stuck
IN the mud he brings it out by biting
his bullocks tail. A bullock has no
idea of what he can do until he is
bitten.
The driver talks to his bullocks a
great deal. When they do we'll he
pra SEES them; when they are lazy he
abuses their female relatives, espe-
cially their mothers and sisters. The
following translation of drivers adj
dress to his bullocks gives the drift of
his verbal method of speed ng them:
"You, Punniah the animals name),

must have been donkey and your
mother a pig; no respectable cow
would own so lazy son.

Counsel for the Snake.

The relations between counsel and
client in England are conducted on a
cash basis. A barrlster receives his
fee when the brief which is to guide
him in the trial of the case is handed
to him. 1t was said of an able lawyer
who practiced at the New York bar
fifty years ago that he was always
seized with violent fit of coughing
while client was stating his case. If,
however, the client dropped the retain
ing fee into the counsePs fidgety left
hand the spasm instantly subsidized.
Lawyers sometimes resort to strange
devices in order to avoid taking cases
where the compensation offered is not
as great as they think it should be. A
San Francisco lawyer once found him
self in a mining town, where his dis
sipation left him without money to pay
his bills or to get away. One morning
man came to the landlord of the hotel
where the lawyer was a guest, and said
he needed trst-rate lawyer.
The host said that celebrated San
Francisco lawyer was staying there,
and showed the prospective client up
stairs to his room. The lawyer was
still in bed, but he listened with pleas
ure to the mans story, thinking that
fat retainer would set him again on his
feet.
The case was this: A ne ghbor had
q pet raft esnake which had escaped
from its cage and bitten the complain
ants horse. ] he horse died in conse-
quence of the bite. The owner wanted
to prosecute for damages. and desired
to employ firstclass lawyer to bring
suit.
How much, sir, was the horse
worth?" asked the lawyer, wishing to
name fee which should be in proper
ton to the amount claimed.
Five dollars" replied the man.
81 am very sorry that | can't serve
you," said the lawyer; Il am retained

Marvellous Strength.

1t is always good to know of hero
that he can boast physical, as we'll as
mental or moral, perfection. Carl
baldi was man fitted to stand beside
Achilles, and hurl the spear in true
Homeric fashion, q power which al
ways adds to leaders authority. An
admirer says of his athletic powers:
His triceps, or shoulder muscles,
were enormous. They were just like
two half cocoanuts sticking up beneath
his mantle. And the saber he used
Two of the Life Guards blades, forged
into one, would just have made it.
Many time have l seen that awful
saber sweeping right, left, like clock
work, as he moved down the enemy,
seated on his old white charger, and
leaving a lane for those who followed
him closely.
"AUdnHi dUdnti!" rang from his
lips all the while, and his trumpet
voice rose high above the loudest ar
tillery fire.
His strength was simply Herculean.
Late one night he was passing on foot,
with only one attendant, through an
unlighted and dangerous part of Naples,
swarming with tazzdrOnj in the pay
of Francis III. Suddenly from either
side two men sprang simultaneously
at him, knife in hand. Before their
blades, raised to strike, could fail,
Gar baldi had each by the throat,
raised high in air to the full extent of
his arms.
He then knocked them together two
or three times, and let them fall on the
stones, saving only, "The poor fools
have had their lesson"

Losing an Umbrella.

A New York man, after reading an
account of an elevated railroad sale of
l.7OO lost umbrellas, told story illus
trating the fact that the ease with
which an umbrella may be lost depends
very much upon the character of the
property. A friend gave him, during
rain-storm in his travels, an old UNI
brella to throw away when it had
served its temporary purpose. After
numerous attempts to lose it, and pay
ing various sums OF money to persons
returning it to him. he ycnturned one
